WE DID IT!!!
Today was mine and Levi's first ever show!
we did 3 in hand classes (not ready for ridden as he is only 4 and currently bum high!)
i was at the yard til 10 pm last night trying to plait and are hood on,also had to tape are fleece bandages on! Levi though it was great fun to undo the Velcro and wave it round in his mouth wile i had done to do a hay net, so we put duct tape over the Velcro (i know i know!! mean mother!!!)
any how arrived at yard at 6.40 feeling sick! ran round like a man lady for 30 mins before finally removing hood to find 3 plait had seem undone (cheers Levi i am sure you did this just to panic me!!)
so on went more plaiting, tail washing , more mother panicking and finally dressing self to look acceptable.. then a nightmare happened!
i split hoof oil all down my cream jods!
On went more mother panicking, tie tieing! Levi rolling eyes, asking very nicely if the judge would accept me in my jeans and saying sorry about 15 times!!
Luckily the judge understood and allowed us in with jeans!

And after what started as a mess of a morning! by 12 noon we had 2 thirds and 1 second!!
I cried when i was pulled forward for are second in hansom gelding!
so as promised here is my follow up on how are first show went, are next show will be in April on my birthday, this show is in an open field so little more worried about this as Levi proved today he is only a 4 year old TB and when a cob in a class with us choose to dart of and course chaos he did attempt to join on, sooner followed by a dig in the chest and a shift sharp "BEHAVE LEVI!" wile he he danced about!! Before he returned to his normal dope on a rope self!
